He’s been having another rant on Truth Social last night. Maybe if they bring in a ban on social media for under 16s, they should include Trump as a special case, honorary two year old?

What's your weather like 2026
We had wind and rain overnight, but the wind has dropped and at the moment no rain, though it looks like it may start again, usually when I go out of the door!! 6 degrees so not too bad.
